Potential suitors hoping to land Zach LaVine in free agency may want to start considering other options with less than a week to go before the negotiation period opens on June 30.
According to David Kaplan of ESPN 1000, the Bulls have already informed LaVine of their intention to offer him a five-year deal which the two-time All-Star is planning to accept. LaVine, 27, has been with Chicago since arriving from the Timberwolves via trade in June 2017.
The 13th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, LaVine is eligible to sign a five-year extension from the Bulls worth over $210 million, per The Athletic. Should he decide to play elsewhere, he would only be able to agree to a four-year max contract worth an estimated $157 million.
